Just some advice on adding Liquid Bat Guano (01-10-01) and molasses to my watering schedule; The question I have is, my schedule now consists of 1/4 strength MG Bloom Booster, then plain ph water, MG BB, and so on; can I add the Bat Guano and molasses in with the plain ph water for 1 watering and then the MG BB the next watering or do I always have to use just plain ph water in between the nute watering? Thanks

i have always given my plants 2 nute feeds then 1 ph corrected water.... but... if the directions while
using that particular product says to feed then water then feed while using it i would follow those
directions because it could have something in it that is building thus requiring the extra watering

Thanks twitch, I just get caught up with other things, so I "almost always" try to reassure things!

If it were me, I'd mix the molasses and guano in with the water for one feeding/watering, then use MG BB at the next scheduled time. The reason is chemical components might impare each other if you mix them all together. Having said that, if you mix them into water and not just mix them together first, then add water, you might be just fine. At four weeks of flowering, how much longer are you going to grow them? Should be getting close to harvest and you should stop feeding and just give water the last week or two of flowering. It might be too late in the grow to add guano unless you want to flower for as long as possible. Go easy with it. Any chance you can put up some pictures?

Thats what I was trying to get at; Instead of just plain ph water, MG BB, plain ph water, etc.. can I go Budswel and molasses mixed in with ph water, MG BB, Budswel and molasses mixed in with ph water, so on and so forth? Or does there need to be one watering with just ph water. I will be flowering a while more, as the buds still have all white hairs. I'll try and post some pics tomorrow during lights on. BTW, thanks for the reply polishpollack!

I don't know how many you've been in flowering, but usually you add something like Budswell once at the beginning of flowering and no more than that. I don't think I'd give much more in ferts because they probably have two or three weeks before they start to die. Then it's time to harvest. Let them flower as long as you can and they will die naturally, but if you load them with ferts you'll need an extra week or so just giving water to flush the ferts. Otherwise you get chemical loaded bud. If the plants look good, I'd probably just leave them alone. Also, distilled water you buy at the store is usually good to use without having to worry about pH.
